Anyone Can Blog

It's about time we talked about blogging and all the different reasons that people do it. Mine personally is to get my writing out there, pursuing the career of a writer/journalist. But the reality is that everyone does it for their own reasons.

Something that always amazes me is that I can browse the internet for a good few hours and find multiple interesting things.  Different themes, styles and energy that people are giving out on the internet. Blogs are everywhere and there is no criteria. You're all as a free as a bird. (I can hear a bird and I thought that fitted nicely). 

Everyone is unique and when I find people on Tumblr for example, I start to understand who that person is. What they like, what they don't like and what their passions are. Blogs are more than uploading memes and funny jokes. Blogs are allowing people to "choose who we let into our weird little worlds". If you haven't watched Good Will Hunting, shame on you.

I don't get all the porn though.

Cover your eyes ma!

There are some things that I'll come across that would make my mum cover her eyes and backhand me. Trust me, she can do it simultaneously. But on a serious note, some people can be really expressive on their blogs, like full on sex scenes and I just sit there like 'Oh my'. But myself, honestly I couldn't give a s**t about what comes up on my blog, I'll write and upload anything that I'm satisfied with. We all have our own ways of expressing ourselves, blogging just seems to be a subtle way to carry out that action.

Blogs are a way of getting yourself out there and if you're reading this, then congratulations to me because I've succeeded. The internet probably knows me better than some of my best friends. People become more interesting than you first think, getting to know who that person is and their emotions that you would never really guess from meeting them. 

If people stopped giving a  f**k, the world would be a better place.

The internet is here for you to be criticised, not everyone in the world is going to like what you upload. You're all interesting people whatever you do, that unique factor about you is what makes you, you. What I love about people taking on blogs is that we all have our factor that makes us who we are. Anyone can blog, so fill that canvas with whatever the f**k you like.
